Encyclopedia : F : FE : FER : Ferdinand Mannlicher
Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher (born January 30 1848 in Mainz, Germany - died January 20 1904 in Vienna, Austria) was an engineer and small armaments designer. He was famous for patenting the Mannlicher-Schönauer rotary magazine rifle with Otto Schönauer.
In 1887 Mannlicher was awarded the 3rd class of the Order of the Iron Crown. In 1892 he was given the title of Ritter von (loosely translated to: 'knight of') due to his earlier ennoblement. In 1899 he was given a lifelong appointment to the Austrian Upper House, the Österreichisches Herrnhaus.
